Key Takeaways

  • Workflows automate tasks natively within Glide

  • The workflows use four types of triggers: Scheduled, Email, Webhook and App Interaction

  • Workflows can be used for various purposes such as compiling performance metrics, generating emails, and optimizing operational efficiency

  • Simple practices, such as renaming actions, can significantly improve the understanding and readability of Workflows

  • Document your Workflows before you build, and continue maintaining that documentation so team members understand how your Workflows were developed

  • AI-generated output requires clear instructions and detailed context for precise and comprehensive results

  • You can chain Workflows together, e.g. by using the Send Email action to trigger an Email workflow, or using the Call API action to interact with the Glide Tables API

  • Workflows can interact with non-Glide APIs and handle JSON data from webhooks, serving as a versatile alternative to other platforms

  • Data passed by the Email and Webhook triggers can be used immediately within a Workflow, without having to store the results in a data source first; this is helpful for minimizing data bloat
